Just in time for MOVEMBER, the “Moustair”



Mustache Mug

Are you one of those guys who decided to grow a mustache for Movember, to bring awareness for men’s health issues?

Some of you may remember that Web Watch brought Movember to your attention a few years ago, and we’re thrilled that it’s grown into the worldwide phenomenon that it has become, in part because of us.

Video Fun: A Peanuts Musical Montage



Peanuts Holiday Collection Deluxe Edition (It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown / A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / A Charlie Brown Christmas)
A Peanuts Holiday Collection

It’s that most wonderful time of the year, where CBS (and Fox, it seems this year) roll out their perennial ratings grabbers, the Charlie Brown specials.

But, thanks to some fancy editing, we bet you’ve never seen Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the gang like this:

Study proves that men really are funnier than women

and the New Generation of Funny Women
(Studies in Humor and Gender)

Web Watch has heard from many entertainment professionals that men are always going to be funnier than women.

 Jerry Lewis said it, others have as well.

Heck, we’ve seen this play out in real life — with women-based comedies often getting short-changed at the movie theater (until Bridesmaids came along to prove everyone wrong).  TV is a different story, with female-lead comedies often leading the ratings, until something Horribly Wrong happens to have those shows suddenly and mysteriously cancelled.

Rosanne?  Laverne & Shirley?  The Lucy Show?   All written by men, we’ll guess.

Even Tina Fey, when she was head writer at SNL, said that it was tough to be a woman working in a man’s world.

Worst bet idea ever: putting a pepper in your butt

Web Watch has talked about insane bets in the past.

You’re already aware about the “you can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour” bet, which is just old-school tired by now.

We’ve told you not to try the ”you can’t take a tablespoon of cinnamon” bet, that could cause someone to choke and need an emergency room visit.  Seriously, don’t do it.

We’ve even told you about the WENDY’S VALUE MEAL CHALLENGE, which is near impossible to comlete by the average fast-food lover.

Video Fun: Sing If You Can



Karaoke Revolution
Karaoke Revolution

Karaoke can be a fun.

Karaoke can be even more fun when it’s made into a game.

KARAOKE REVOLUTION was just the start, but there’s no danger in singing with friends in your living room.

Then came DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS and THE SINGING BEE (both regular and country versions), and KARAOKE BATTLE USA.  Sure, those games were fun… but again, where was the danger?  The risk?

23 actual job interview questions you never want to answer



The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked
The 250 Job Interview Questions You’ll Most Likely Be Asked

We’ve all had interesting job interviews.

Web Watch recalls one where the entire interview has done over drinks in a smoky bar after hours.  While the interview was a serious affair, the atmosphere detracted enough from the offered position that we ended up turning the job down.  If they’re not willing to take their company and interview process seriously, why should we take their job offer seriously? 

But sometimes there are some interview questions that just are a little… off.  They certainly are within the realm of reason to be answered, but they may not be the types of questions that you want to deal with. 

So let’s take a look at some actual JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ASKED, ever.

The Best of Saturday Night Live
The Best of Saturday Night Live

Last season’s season finale proved that Justin Timberlake is the ultimate Saturday Night Live host. 

Practically every skit he’s ever in has been a slamdunk.  He can sing, he can act, he has absolutely no qualms about doing any thing for a laugh — all qualities for the most successful SNL hosts.

He’s won Emmy awards for his song-writing skills on the show too.

Christina Hendricks from Mad Men knows a little bit about what it takes for a man – a real man – to get her attention.

And back in May 2010, she penned a treatise on the subject entitled A LETTER TO MEN.  It’s just her little way of giving back, to help men everywhere know what they should, and shouldn’t, be doing if they want to score a fantastic woman like that.

Some of the tips she shares are:

How can you look at a hot girl wearing a clown nose and not smile a little bit on the inside, knowing that if she’s confident enough in herself to be a little silly and goofy, maybe she’ll find you a little interesting too.

If you live in an urban area, the air you breath contains lots and lots of dog poop



The Dog Poop Initiative
The Dog Poop Initiative

Stop for a moment and take a deep breath.

Ah.  Fresh air smells good, right?

Well, a recent study has come out that shows that the air you breath – especially if you’re living in an urban area – contains more than its fair share of CANINE FECAL MATERIAL in that air.  The study, entitled SOURCES OF BACTERIA IN OUTDOOR AIR ACROSS CITIES IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES was commissioned to identify what types of bacteria would be found in urban areas.  Would there be differences based on urban population, the season, or other elements?

Decorating the office with Post-It Notes



Post-it Notes
Post-it Notes

When non-destructive, office pranks can be fun.

Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with inflated balloons?  Fun.  Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with Silly String?  A little bit of a mess to clean-up, and usually left to the victim to do so on their own.

Web Watch has even covered an entire office’s items in tin foil and wrapping paper.  Definitely time-consuming and an absolute waste of money, but entertaining.   The best one we did was sheetrocking over the boss’s office door and painting the wall so it looked like the office was never there in the first place.  Oh, we’re still laughing about that one.

But sometimes it’s nice to include others in your office shenanigans.
